Welcome to football.london 's Tottenham live blog, where we'll keep you up to date with the latest goings on in north London throughout the day.

Spurs have kept hold to third in the Premier League table after a late victory over Burnley at Wembley.

Mauricio Pochettino's side navigated a nervy evening in Barcelona to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League via a 1-1 draw, with Inter failing to beat PSV at home - and were rewarded with a tie against Borussia Dortmund.

Fans were given their first look inside the new stadium, with some able to see inside the new South Stand, as the opening date draws closer.

And Mauricio Pochettino's side got some revenge for their loss to Arsenal in the league by knocking the Gunners out of the Carabao Cup and progressing to the semi-finals, where they will meet Chelsea.

Dimitar Berbatov outlines what Mauricio Pochettino must do amid Manchester United links

Former Spurs striker Dimitar Berbatov believes Mauricio Pochettino should stay in north London rather than go to Manchester United in the summer.

Heavily linked with the Old Trafford hotseat in the past following the excellent job he has done at Spurs, talk of Pochettino going to the Red Devils has gone up a notch this week following Jose Mourinho’s dismissal.

“Solskjaer has the United job until the end of the season but it’s not the Norwegian who heads the betting for United manager on the first day of next season, that position is held by Mauricio Pochettino,” Berbatov said in his Betfair column.

Pochettino calls for positivity as he names the Spurs signing who has proved the doubters wrong

Mauricio Pochettino has claimed he wants to change the perception of Spurs following a lot of negativity over their lack of summer spending.

With all of the club’s top-six rivals strengthening in the race for the Premier League title, the Lilywhites didn’t bring in a single player during the transfer window.

Give the likes of Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea spent big, as well as Arsenal adding five new additions to their squad, it was unsurprisingly met by negativity from supporters.

However, despite not adding to their squad, the Lilywhites are currently third in the table and looking to push on in the Champions League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup in 2019.

Claiming that the arrival of Paulo Gazzaniga from Southampton in August 2017 was met by negativity, Pochettino has stated that it’s a shame people criticised his arrival as the goalkeeper has proved to be a very shrewd acquisition this season.

If we don’t sign in January, people say we are going to struggle - it’s all negative. Rather than say, ‘Tottenham didn’t sign anyone is because they believe they have the tools to maybe challenge for the title’. It’s always negative,” said Pochettino at Hotspur Way.

The doubt is always negative, never positive and that’s because of the history. Because of what happened in the past. We need to fight with this perception and to be proud of the team... continued

Things got a little bit tense at the press conference yesterday...

Arsenal and Spurs fined for Premier League game

Arsenal and Spurs have been fined £45,000 and £50,000 respectively after both clubs admitted an FA charge of failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion.

This charge related to the Premier League game on December 2 which finished 4-2 to Arsenal, when a ruckus was started following Eric Dier’s equalising goal in the first half.

Dembele talks 'at a standstill'

Spurs’ talks with Mousa Dembele about a possible contract renewal are “at a standstill”, according to DH via Sport Witness - but the midfielder apparently wants to stay with the Premier League side.

The Belgian midfielder’s current deal expires in the summer, and reports state that he would like to extend his stay in north London, but only if he gets a better contract than he is currently on.

Spurs, however, are reluctant to offer him a wage that would be approaching the levels of Harry Kane and Hugo Lloris due to both his age and “fragility”. So unless he agrees to take a deal similar to the one he is currently on, he looks likely to leave.
